This is a picture of another one of my old neighbors. I absolutely love her wild hair and her expression in this photo. I snapped this at just the right moment as she came down the slide. Adorable!!!

Day at the Park

Neighbor, originally uploaded by lmentler.

I took this picture back in the fall before my neighbors moved out of Fresno. This was their oldest daughter and as you can see - she wasn't camera shy! Her sweet personality is reflected in this photo! She and her sister had a great time in the park that morning. I'll post my favorite picture of her sister next time...

This is another picture that I took of my friend's newborn. What a sweetie! I thought I needed to add some color to my blog again! I've been posting so many B&W photos lately!

Besides my own son, this was my first attempt to take some photos of a newborn. He was only about 1 week old when I took this photo. I didn't get to try too many poses as my 20-month old was running around with this baby's big brother (a toddler as well!). I have to say, though, that I am very pleased with how this photo turned out. It's amazing how expressive such a new baby can be!

Niece, originally uploaded by lmentler.

My niece was more than cooperative when I was taking pictures of her last fall. I took a number of photos of her where she is looking right at the camera and striking a pose! I chose to post this one because it is one of my favorites. I love the sweet look on her face and that her chin is just barely on her shoulder. I tend to prefer black & white photos of people because I feel like they are more classic looking.

**As a side note, I haven't posted in a few weeks as we were out of town looking for a new home. I am happy to say that we found one! We will moving to Cary, NC in March.
